Sugar industries have huge potential to contribute the sustainable energy transition through electricity generation and production of biofuels. Sugar-producing countries generate volumes sugarcane bagasse as a byproduct production. In this study, performance an operating traditional sugar factory is analyzed for export potential. The study presents characteristics modern factories. challenges f...

Sugarcane bagasse has a great potential to be used as biofuel; however, its use feedstock in fluidized bed reactors is hampered due fibrous nature, low apparent density, high moisture content, and difficulties with fluidization. The present study evaluated the torrefaction of sugarcane propose suitable process conditions that balance properties fuel obtained process’s energy requirements. Based...

Jatropha cake (JC), a toxic residue derived from the extraction of the oil from Jatropha curcas seeds, can be used as a culture medium for solid-state fermentation (SSF). Through this process, it is possible to detoxify and add value to this solid residue through the production of enzymes of biotechnological interest. However, one of the major technological bottlenecks in SSF is the microbial g...
